Let stand for one hour.

Preheat oven to 325F.

Cut chicken into strips or desired piece size.

Dip pieces of chicken in beaten egg, then coat with cornstarch mixture.

Brown in hot oil just until coating is fried and holds together.

Bake uncovered 45 minutes, turning once halfway through.

For sauce: combine sugar, vinegar, chicken stock, ketchup, and soy sauce.

I recommend thickening the sauce a bit by adding a little cornstarch to cold water, and then pouring slowly into the hot sauce.

Add a few teaspoonfuls of pineapple juice to sweeten.

The sauce will smell strongly of vinegar, so taste it to adjust the sweetness.
